Yesterday I took the time to prepare my next workshop Around the corner on 12th of March, where I really will work around the four corners to make a card and it can still be send to someone. The first example I show you I made with the botanical blooms set. A set I still need to use more.

Yesterday I had two workshops It's in the air, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. Because of illness I had to move it and not this time other ladies were ill, but we still had nice workshops with very creative ladies. In the afternoon it was a private session and I could make one too, so I worked in the pacific blue and pool party and Sonja took the lost lagoon colour. In the evening two lost lagoon cards are made too but one lady made a more romantic card with the flower heart. I loved every card and enjoyed the workshops very much.

This afternoon and evening I have a workshop with central theme the plane. The results will be visible tomorrow. Now I want to show you another usage of the plane. I used it as an eye catcher on a triangular box for little treats. So easy to make.

Yesterday I had a very nice afternoon with Laniëlle and her three daughters (10-12-13 years old). She came to pick up her mega order and of course I took the time to give them some tips and tricks about the trimmer, the bigshot, the punches and ink. And then the three young ladies could play a bit with the products. They were free to chose what they wanted to do. One of them wanted to make a cracker with the envelop punch board, the other two wanted to work with the balloons. One of them made a simple card with a very nice bunch of green balloons and the other one wanted to make a screen card. They got a minimum of explanation but that was enough to get them started, what they made is really fabulous.

This time I show you my aquarel technique attempts. I used the stamp Birthday blooms and tried it with different colours. Two of them have already found their way to a card, the other two I will show you soon.

No, spring is not here yet, but I had a very nice walk with my team mate Claudia. We enjoyed the nature, the sun and talked a lot, of course partly about Stampin'Up! but most of all we loved nature. I show you now a card inspired by this trip, I made it with the sheltering tree which is very versatile. The front is simple but once open you see a special fold card. It was a challenge given by my upline Lida.

Around this time we see hearts everywhere, as everything is for Valentines day which is coming. I could not resist in making one too, so I made this card with the Birthday blooms set. An easel card which is always special to make too.

Once and a while you need a card for a man and as I was working with water technique this week I took my brush and aquarel paper again and the beautiful ride stamp set and made this card. I kept it simple and the little dots are from the gorgeous grunge set, a set I never liked but now start liking.

Finally I got my mojo back as I saw many memories on Facebook with the technique on aquarel paper. So I took my paper and an older set of Stampin'Up! to paint this girl who is searching for shells on the beach. I kept the card very simple as I love such type of cards and I do not think it needs anything more. The coming days I will show you more recent stamp sets with this technique.

Playing butterflies around a simple flower, a quick and easy card made with just one stamp set the Grateful bunch. The card is easy as you have an according punch to make the flowers you can put then on the card for a 3D effect.

Recently I made this form of a card, this time I used more manly colors with my favorite plane from the SAB leaflet. It is such a cute stamp set and only till middle of February it will be here. So be quick.
